***Breaking news! Since we have had so many comments just hours after posting the giveaway Annette and Barry, the owners of About Art Accents/Art Neko, are letting me pick 2 winners! Leave a comment people! Good luck & Merry Christmas!***

Oh my goodness, I have so many Christmas projects yet to blog, what’s a girls to do? Hey, I know, I’ll give away some stamps!

Since I was a slacker very busy crafter this month I forgot to giveaway some Christmas stamps from About Art Accents so the totally awesome, completely understanding owner said “go ahead Lindsay, post the giveaway and we will give away a surprise bundle of goodies” since my readers will need Christmas stamps in a week like a hole in the head. I like surprises and if you have a look at the About Art Accents website I’m sure you will love whatever the prize is. Just leave a comment and you are entered to win, it’s as easy as that! I’ll pick a winner next weekend!

I had a request for a Copic coloring tutorial and as you know I mix and match supplies so here you have an alcohol marker tutorial using Copics, Promarkers and Prismacolors. Look, they all play nice together, so you can try a marker or two from different brands and see what you like best and you won’t have wasted and money because they can be used together. The angel stamp I used can be found here and it is on sale for $4.90 (regular price $7). The papers I used to make the final card can be found at Oriental Trading Company.

Sometimes I forget how much I love coloring with markers. A tip is to stamp out a bunch of images and keep them in a bag with your markers (clear cosmetic bags are great for this) and you can take them with you to color in front of the TV, on trips, or wherever you might be. It is an easily portable project and the more you color the better you get! That’s it for me tonight, leave a comment for a chance to win some wonderful non Christmas stamps from About Art Accents and til next time happy crafting!

I would love some Christmas stamps. I am determined to make at least one a week starting in January, because I am such a slow crafter and I hate the last minute running around. Thanks for a chance to win.

As always, I loved watching this tutorial. Win some stamps? Oh yes, count me in. Any kind too, even Christmas stamps would be awesome. I LOVE stamps.

And I love all your great tips and learning that it is fine to mix alcohol marker brands was a great one.

When I started stamping and did not know about Bics and Sharpies and did not want to spend the price of Copics, I bought dye art makers–like Crayola. Discovered if I used colored pencil first, then went over it with marker after, the paper would not pill.

You never cease to amaze me with all you do. I have copied so many of your projects – snowflakes and the little round balls. They remind me of my mom who made them out of old Christmas cards! Love them! Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!

Since I’ve re-inked all of my pads, I could use some new stamps. I love the idea of getting a leg up on next year LOL I feel like I’m drowning in crafty things I need to do … 11th hour crafting. I’m watching Ask a Crafter 18, you two are hilarious!!!

Lindsey a other great video! The Angle looks great love the colours you pick for her! Thank you for teaching us how to use the markers! I’m learning lots from you thanks! Have a Wonderful Christmas with your family! Love your little sing song at the end, Hugs Liz x

I would love to win. Such great stamps there.
I love your card! It is so adorable. I put my stamped items in Ziplock freezer bags. It is cheap and makes it really easy to have several different designs at a time. I started this when I traveled to my brothers for 3 weeks. Now I do it all the time. Edwina Brown

How exciting!! I have wanted to try out the markers and your video makes my heart long to do it soon!! I don’t care if it’s after Christmas!! I can start 2014 crafting away!! Happy Holiday’s to one & all!! Thank you for a chance!

I am loving the angel stamped image, but I just have to find the bubble lights paper you used from Oriental Trading too. I have always had them on my trees since childhood. As always, thank you Lindsay for all your generosity in teaching us all. Merry Christmas!

Looks like some nasty weather headed up north. . . get your knitting and coloring stuff together so you can craft by the fire! Love the banner on your card. I’ll be doing that for sure. Thanks for your precious time!

I love that adorable lil angel stamp!I love coloring with my copics too,great idea to color while watching tv.Your blogs and videos are always so helpful.I have learned so many things by watching your vids!Thanks for doing them!

Areally cool video, you´bve done here, and really needed for me, aas I´m just NOT very good at coloring, even I really wants to learn it and be as good as some of all the amazing ladies out there, who just always color sooo beautisul and perfect, so it would be sooo awesome to win a pack of stamps to practtice all that coloring here in the new year.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year too to everyone around here.

It would be so fun to win some stamps! If I do, I will be giving them to a very special home set up for people who have come in to our town from out of the area for chemotherapy. This way they don’t have to stay in a hotel. I am trying to build up a lot of craft supplies for them to use in their off time.

Hi Lindsay, Your tutorials are always fun, relaxing, and informative. Since it is the holidays and you received so many comments, let’s have TWO winners this month. So, let the wheel spin and choose TWO commenters to receive surprise envelopes in the mail. Happy holidays to all with health and wealth in 2014. Annette @artneko.com

I love this little angel. She is so adorable. I also liked the way you did the little v cut on the banner at the end. Never saw it made that way. Maybe you could do that part a little slower, it would be cheaper then buying a die cut to do it.

Great coloring video! Thank you for the reminder about colors that bleed (choosing the green rather than the red for the ornament). As I sit here trying to control some bleeding on my image I hear your words and think I should have used a lighter color so the bleeding would not be as prominent.
Thank you!
🙂

You inspire me to color. There was a time when I wouldn’t even think of giving it a try (I’m not good at shading or coordinating colors) but you make me feel like it’s ok and that there is hope for me. So thank you so much. Have a wonderful holiday and thank you for all the time you take to make these assorted tutorials for us. I do appreciate your hard work. Hugs!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for all the wonderful and educational videos you posted this year. I loved all of them. Would love to win a prize,especially the angel stamp. Thanks again for all that you do to help us crafters make such wonderful projects.

Sometimes I can’t believe that you are still posting for all of us, since you must have so much going on while getting ready for Christmas. Thanks for all your posts, and have a Wonderful Christmas! Gail

Merry Christmas to you and your family! You have soooo not been a slacker. I see posts from you nearly every day. Imoust scribed to your YouTube channel so I don’t miss a thing. Thanks for the daily dose of inspiration you share with all of us frugal crafters.

Merry Cristmas Lindsay! Each video and tutorial you give us has been a gift all year long! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have helped me channel my creativity. I would love to ad Copic markers to my art projects.

That is such a cute little angel. My daughter stopped by while I was watching this and she wanted to know if I had any angel stamps. She is now in my craft room looking through my stamps and yelling if I had any markers. We both love your blogs. Thanks for all the great ideas and inspiration. Merry Christmas.

Hi Lindsay. I love your tutorials and your answering question session with your neighbor. You taught me something new with this video. I’ve never done a banner so now I’ve learned something else new. Thanks for all you do for the internet and OSA. – Sincerely, RLI

I am growing my stamp collection as a new user of stamps. I could ALWAYS use more! By the way, after seeing your tutorial on the paper snowflake, I made one which is now hanging over our kitchen table. It’s beautiful as it slowly rotates. LOVE it!!!

I so love that you show us that we don’t have to stick with just one brand to get the effects that have been demonstrated (for any craft project). Thank you so much for all of the wonderful articles and videos looking forward to watching/reading your blog in 2014. Merry Christmas

Cute card. I don’t have many angels stamps and I don’t have alcohol markers but I do enjoy watching your tutorials in case I get some some day. So far I have resisted and stick to my Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. Thanks for the chance to win some stamps. That’s awesome.

Lindsay, I love to watch your videos. You are so talented and you make your videos so much fun to watch and enjoy. The angel stamp in your recent video is really sweet. Keep up the good work, Lindsay. Christmas stamping is my favorite. Would love to win some stamps. Veneda

Hi my Love Lindsay, I love your angel card. Great image. I would love to win some stamps, they would make a great present for the New Year. Merry Christmas to you and yours and a very Happy New Year. Love Ya’ Patricia

I Love your ideas & videos. I am just starting to rebuild my collection of stamps & scrapbooking supplies again. I was put in a financial position to Have to SELL everything a few years ago. I absolutely love crafting & giving handmade cards & gifts .Thanks for the chance to win….

I am new to marker using and stamping. Cost is an obstacle but getting a few at a time will give me lots of practice time. And your tutorials open new ideas. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas and Blessings.

Another fantastic video Lindsay, the finished angel is just too cute for words. I’m a beginner in paper crafting, so would LOVE to be a winner, especially as I’ve not had any experience with colouring with markers. I’m so grateful that you take time in your busy life to post wonderful video tutorials for us. Happy Christmas to you and your family. Bejay in the UK

I LOVE surprises! Have been enjoying your videos and all the wonderful info you post. Your outgoing, fun spirit is so uplifting, thank you for your time and energy! Happy Holidays to you and yours! Jeri

Your work is always a joy. I learn something every time I see your art and then watch your tutorials. You do a great job and I appreciate you sharing your tricks and tips. It can make all the difference between a card that is colored and a piece that is art! Thank you.

I have just started learning how to use color on my cards. Up to now if there was color it was from a punched, patterned paper or stamped image. I started using colored pencils (received a bunch more for Christmas), and I am finding your Youtube video’s and your blog to be very helpful. I am going to be doing lots of practicing and plan on picking up new pens, markers, copics etc. over the next few months. I especially love your AAC segment and get lots of exciting ideas. Thanks so much, and Happy New Year!

Hi Lindsay. I’m hoping this giveaway is open to your fans this side of the pond :). I adore stamps and just can’t have too many, when finances allow. I’m keeping everything crossed that I will be one of the lucky winners. I’m off to watch the video now as I’m useless at ‘colouring in’. x

Hi Lindsay, second time lucky at posting, and apologies if it comes up twice. I just adore stamps and get more whenever my limited finances allow, so I’m keeping everything crossed to be lucky enough to get drawn out of the hat as one of the winners, if it’s open for us across the pond :). I’m off to watch the video now as I’m useless at ‘colouring in’ and need all the help I can get. x
